This will be the new moon on Friday February 9 at 2:59 pm PST. It will be aligned with the constellation Capricorn (sidereal astrology). This constellation will be in the spotlight this month, with a cluster of 6 planets: Moon on the 9th, Sun (until the 13th), Mercury until the 20th, Venus (from the 12th), Mars (until mid-March) and Pluto! The energy of Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, is therefore very strong. Saturn invites us to take responsibility, to look reality in the face with a lucid and realistic perspective, even if we'd like it to be otherwise. This planet can bring us melancholy, pessi ..read more

This will be the last full moon of the year, on Tuesday December 26 at 4:33 PM PST. It will be aligned with the constellation Gemini (sidereal astrology), in the Shiva-Shakti axis, more precisely the star Betelgeuse, called Ardra in Vedic astrology. It's the hunter's shoulder, part of the Orion constellation. This star is turbulent and unstable - even astronomers say so! Ardra is ruled by Rudra, god of thunderstorms, one of Shiva's forms. Storms are sometimes necessary to lighten the atmosphere and purify the earth. During this full moon, we may be hypersensitive and emotionally agitated. This ..read more

Every year at this time, it's the New Moon in Scorpio. This year, it takes place on Tuesday, December 12 at 3:32 PM PST. Scorpio is a sign of transmutation, inviting us to dive deep within ourselves and bring to light all the dark, repressed corners of our psyche. The Sun, Moon and Mars will be aligned at the end of Scorpio in the nakshatra Jyestha, ruled by Indra, the demon-fighting king of the gods. This is a very shamanic star, forcing us to confront our shadowy areas and inner demons (fears, attachments, obsessions, addictions). The end of the constellation, Scorpio's tail, contains the po ..read more

This will be the new moon on September 14 at 6:40 p.m. PDT. It will be aligned with the end of the constellation Leo (sidereal astrology), specifically the star Denebola, the tail of Leo, with Mercury stationary direct. The new moon will take place in the lunar constellation (nakshatra) UttaraPhalguni, ruled by Aryaman, one of the 12 adityas (sons of the sun) who takes the form of friend and supporter. This constellation makes us want to help others, to make a difference in the world. At the same time, it reminds us of the Divine friend and support we all have within us, at all times, on whom ..read more

August 30th is a full moon, at 6:35 p.m. PDT, in the Leo-Aquarius axis (sidereal astrology). It's called the "super blue moon" because it's bigger and brighter than usual, and it's the 2nd full moon of August. The Leo-Aquarius axis leads us to reflect on our balance between thinking of ourselves and thinking of others, between individualism and communitarianism. The Aquarian paradox is that he's very idealistic and dreams of community life, and at the same time, he can be very solitary and "in his bubble". It's important to strike a balance between the two, and to think about how my individual ..read more

he New Moon is Wednesday, August 16 at 2:38am PDT. It takes place at the junction of Cancer and Leo (sidereal astrology) with Venus retrograde. The junction points between a water and fire sign (there are 3) are called "gandantha", meaning "karmic knot to be untied". It's a place that can be quite confronting, but also transformative, especially on an emotional and affective level, as Venus retrograde has just passed through it. With its square to Uranus, this New Moon can make us hypersensitive, febrile, hyperemotional and emotionally unpredictable. Life could put us in situations where we'll ..read more

The new moon falls on Monday, July 17 at 11:32 a.m. PDT. The days leading up to the new moon are a time for introspection and letting go of what no longer serves us. The day of the new moon is a good time to set new intentions for the month ahead. The new moon, which is the union of sun and moon, reunites our inner couple, yin and yang, our masculine and feminine currents, ida and pingala, the alignment of atma (our soul) with manas (our mind-emotions). The new moon this month will be particularly strong and beneficial, as it takes place on a Monday, the day of the moon. It takes place in the ..read more

This will be the full moon on Monday, July 3 at 4:38 a.m. PDT. It will be aligned with the end of the constellation Sagittarius (sidereal astrology). Sagittarius is the sign ruled by Jupiter, called Guru in Vedic astrology, and this full moon coincides with Guru Purnima, the festival to express gratitude to our guides and mentors. The "Guru Tattwa" is also a principle, the one who takes us from darkness to light, who guides and teaches us through our intuition and all the events and actors in our lives... The full moon will be aligned with the constellation Purvashada, the "invincible star", r ..read more

The new moon falls on Saturday June 17 at 9:37PM PDT.  It will be aligned with the constellation Gemini, more precisely Orion, called Mrigashiras in Vedic astrology. It's also known as the Hunter. It's a constellation linked to research and exploration. This new moon invites us to ask ourselves: what am I looking for in my life, am I looking at the right place, in the right way? It's a good time to question and introspect, with Saturn going retrograde until November, as it does every year for 4-5 months. A time to reflect on the past 6 months, to finish what needs to be finished, to bring ..read more

It's a full moon on Saturday, June 3, at 8:42 pm PDT. In sidereal astrology, it will be aligned with the star Antares, in the heart of Scorpio. This can be an intense, emotionally confronting and insecure Full Moon. We may feel somewhat vulnerable and feverish. This place is called Jyestha in Vedic astrology. It means "elder" and invites us to respect and care for our elders, appreciating their wisdom and experience. Jyestha is ruled by Indra, the king of gods who defends dharma and fights demons. He invites us to confront the dark corners of our psyche, the shadows we've swept under the carpe ..read more
